OF this amount $4,000 has been apportlon-
ed for the survey of lands IN Pryor creek

valley, ranges 81 and % be chosen as the
field of survey. These ranges are in the
Pryor creek valley 10 occupied by the
Indians. There is little doubt but that

PIrTsBURG, Pa, June 22.-The first
train that ever run, or attempted to run,
west of the Allegheny mountains with
crude petroleum as the only fuel in its
locomotive tender and fire-box, was the
mail train west on the Pennsylvania road
that arrived in this city the other night.
It came through from Altoona on time
and it came without a stick of timber or
scuttle OF coal to make steam for its mo-
tor. The pipes from the 200 gallons OF
crude oil in a tank in the tender did the
business. The experiment was a complete
success. Splendid time was made and
there was no annoyance from smoke or
cinders. The process is the invention OF
a Russian scientist, and Mr.. Dudley OF the
Altoona shops has been developing it
slowly but surely. 1t will, of course,
prove a great streak of economy. The
second section of the day express left for
the east next morning with the same
locomotive and fuel.
PITrsBURG, June 22.-The demand fer
iron and steel is still great, considering
the immense quantity that has been
turned out in this country in the last year.
Generally at this time there is falling
off. The men don't care to work much
in the three months to come and the man
ufacturers use the time in making repairs.
This year is an exception. Orders are
still coming in for large quantities. There
is still metal to be got, but the product is
getting scarce. There is not a ton Of I'M
sold pig iron within several hundred
miles of P%ittsburg. In this city metal that
has been stacked by for some years is be-
ing disposed Of. In one place over 1000
tons have been held for almost eleven
years for higher prices and have just been
sold. In this city all the iron and steel
mills are in operation, excepting two.
HELENA, June 22.-The Independent
says: "From every side comes the testi-
mony that never in the history of Montana
has a finer outlook been offered for an
abundant grass crop and prolific returns
from cultivated products. 1t is to be a
great year for the fruits of husbandry and
the aggregate wealth that will b ereturned
by the liberal weather of spring will, o
the whole, offset every dollars worth of
loss occasioned by the rigorous winter.
Added to this is the prospect of mining
business far in excess of that of any pre-
yious year in the history of the territory
and the enormous sums to be loosened by
railway construction and the consequent
influx of population and the effect upon
all business enterprise. This is to be a
great year for Montana"
CHICAGO, June 22.-McGarigle and Nc
Donald have been found guilty of plum
dering the people. The jury found that
the defendants were guilty as charged in
Donald and McGarigle was fixed at three
years each in the penitentiary. The pris-
oners and their friends were dumfounded
when they heard the verdict. They had
hoped for acquittal and were confident
that if not acquitted the worst would be a
mistrial. The judge declined to admit
either Mcdonald or McGarigle to bail.
The decision on this point fell with crush
ing effect upon the defendants, their coun
sci and friends. The convicted men
we're taken to the county Jail.
DUBLIN, June 21.-Several tenants ar
rested at Bodyke for resisting the officers,
have been sentenced to prison at hard la
Dor for terms varying from one to three
months. After being sentenced they We're
taken to Ennis station under escort of
the police. Crowds of sympathizing peo-
pie gathered and cheered them and be-
came so demontratiye that they We're
ordered to charge and dispense them.
This they did with a will and piled their
batons so vigorously that several of the
people were seriously injured. s.
New YORK, June 22.-The So, 900 cham
pionship of the world lightweight prize
fight between Jim Carney, the English
champion, and Jimmy Mitchell OF Phila-
delphia, came off Friday night thirty
miles up the Sound. Carney Won by
knocking Mitchell out in the eleventh
round. It was a hard fought battle and
| one of the cleverest seen in many years.
Time of the fight Al minutes 40 seconds.
It the first time that Mitchell has ever
been knocked out.
New YORK, June 22.-Jay Gould's
health has not improved. He is still
obliged to let business alone. His init
mates insist he is no longer troubled with
insomnia and there is an earnest effort to
give currency to the idea that he is no
longer a sick man, but the fact remains
that he is far from being well. His Office
desk is piled up with business that he is
neglecting for the reason that he does not
feel equal to the task of dispatching it.
His life may not be in danger, but he is a
sick man.
